Laytoure is an excellent base for exploring the Ariege; whist the region is comparatively unknown as a tourist destination, it has plenty to offer including picturesque towns and villages, Cathar castles and prehistoric sites. Activities such as horse riding, swimming, climbing, aerial walkways, kayaking and golf are available locally. It's a great area for walking and cycling, and the St Jacques de Compostella pilgrim route runs through our village. Further afield you can travel to Carcassonne, the high Pyrenees, Andorra and the Spanish border; an hour and a half's drive takes you to the Mediterranean.
To reach us you can fly to either Toulouse or Carcassonne airport, both are about an hour's drive away.
Open from 1st May to 1st November.
Wi-Fi, gas, electricity, towels and linen included in the price. Cots and high chairs available; safety gates.
Just a note about reviews on this site - unfortunately most of our reviews have been deleted, presumably due to some technical glitch; the ones you can see are very positive, and there used to be a lot more like this!

Please be aware of a few safety items for young children. There is a fish/wildlife pond in the front garden, notmally covered with a grille. The plunge pool is very safe for children as they can't get in so long as you remove or raise the ladder when it's not in use - we'll show you how to do this. There are a few no-go areas around the house: the workshop (locked when not in use), the barn which has garden tools and chemicals, and the pool hut which has pool maintenance products.

Thank you for your review - really glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and we hope to see you again sometime

We stayed at Laytore, in the Wisteria Room, for five nights in October 2013. The accomodation is lovely. We were very impressed with our room, which was very spacious and had lots of character with original, thick wooden beams and a beautiful wooden floor.

Laytoure is situated on the edge of St Victor Rouzaud, a small farming community. Any elevated spot gives you dramatic views of the Pyrenees. Our local town, Pamiers, 8 km away, provides all you could wish in the way of shops, restaurants and cafes. There are picturesque villages. Half an hour's drive takes you to the medieval town of Mirepoix. The Tarascon area, about 40 minutes away, has a number of prehistoric caves which you can visit, of which the best is the Grotte de Niaux with its cave paintings. The Grotte du Mas d'Azil, an astonishing cave which you can drive through, also has important prehistoric remains and is only a short drive away. You can travel Europe's longest underground river at Labouiche. There are several lakes with beaches where you can swim nearby, including the La...
